A) Banro's Twangiza commenced production in 2011
Twangiza (Oxide) became Banro's first producing open pit gold mine when it entered production in October 2011, commencing commercial production in September 2012. With mill throughput at full capacity of 1.7 million tonnes per year, Twangiza (Oxide) is projected to produce upwards of 10,000 ounces of gold each month with an expected mine life of seven to eight years from currently-defined reserves.
Twangiza is the most advanced of Banro's four properties with a Mineral Reserve of 13.69 million tonnes grading 2.34g/t Au containing 1.03 million ounces of gold. The Twangiza deposit is comprised of two resource components -- an oxide portion and a transition rock/fresh rock portion -- with a focus on the oxide component which has a Measured & Indicated Resource of 15.56 million tonnes grading 2.21/t Au containing 1.10 million ounces of gold and an Inferred Resource of 1.27 million tonnes grading 1.35g/t Au containing 60,000 ounces of gold. The property is located 45 kilometres south-southwest of Bukavu in South Kivu Province and consists of six Exploitation Permits covering 1,164 square kilometres in the highly-prospective 210km long Twangiza-Namoya gold belt.
